Seven years have passed since the last album by The Myrrors. Back in 2021, founding members N.R. Safi and Grant Beyschau had already teamed up with Miguel Urbina for improvisation sessions. The results lingered in limbo for what felt like an eternity.
Land Back (Radio Khiyaban / A.U.M. / Cardinal Fuzz) gathers the songs from those sessions, and it very much feels like a snapshot of that moment. The tracks are only loosely connected, yet together they paint a dark and unsettling picture.
For the most part, we drift in a weightless space, held together by free jazz, drone, and space rock. Saxophone dominates the second half, while gentler flute tones weave through the first—adding a sense of lightness to the title track after its more restless passages.
“Bakú a Bandung” fades into infinity—a gripping rock song underpinned by psychedelia. The 15-minute “The Wretched of the Earth” builds slowly before descending into chaos. The world has long since stopped turning.
